At the top of my 'must-see' list for any visitor to Copenhagen is the fabulous LOUISIANA Museum of Modern Art. While discussing our impending move to Denmark with my doctor, Karen, she proclaimed "oh you must go to Louisiana, it's my favorite museum in the world!" So it was a great tip, we visited our first weekend and it was the highlight sandwiched between endless trips to IKEA, and secondly it was an unexpected perk of my annual physical to discuss modern art with my lovely Colorado…

"L'Homme qui marche", Alberto Giacometti, 1961, Louisiana Museum, Humlebæk

Architects: Vilhelm Wohlert and Jørgen Bo (1958 - 1991) Location: Humlebæk (Øresund), Denmark One of the nicest museums I've ever visited, north of Copenhagen, overlooking the straights with Sweden beyond. The collection of modern art and architecture from 1945 to today is stunning. Apparently, it's called the Louisiana because the original owner of the land where it was built had three wives (not all at once)... and all of them were named Louise. At least that keeps it simple.

Robbins Architecture | Celeste Robbins on Instagram: "Copenhagen’s Louisiana Museum has always been on my wish list to visit. Yesterday was the day. A beautiful composition of Art, Architecture and Landscape. “Louisiana is considered a major work of Danish modernist architecture. In the well-balanced style of the late 1950's discreet modernism, the museum presents itself as a horizontal and understated building complex that fits gracefully and intimately into the landscape.” Swipe to see…
